I'm a tripod guy - I have at least a dozen. I have compact models for travel, large rugged models when I need a rugged model, carbon fiber, aluminum and a combination. After using this tripod a few times, you'll find that whoever designed it took the best qualities of several tripods and combined them here - although some have escaped them.

All dials and buttons are aluminum, not plastic. This is really nice and adds years to the life of the tripod. Plastic buttons eventually break. They break if bumped too hard. Aluminum has dents or scratches, but it doesn't shatter like plastic.

All hardware (connecting screws, nuts, bolts) is rust-free.

The included ball head is pretty damn nice too. It has the thicker 3/8-24 thread typical of a tripod head. The plate is an Arca-Swiss style sliding plate and the camera screw has a built in thumb lock for hand tightening. No tools (or coins) are required. The plate can be detached and slid back and forth, but will not slip off the head. It takes almost two full turns of the locking knob to fully disengage the panel. Kind. There is also a built-in soap scale. The ball mechanism is in a Teflon pocket and is therefore smooth-running.

At the top of the tripod (where the head attaches) is a reversible screw - 1/4-20 for cameras or 3/8-24 for tripod heads. The top orange collar ensures it stays in place. It's all hand tightened, so it's possible to twist the ball head off without realizing it. There are no locking screws to fix the tripod head. The best way to attach the head is to remove the double ended screw and collar. On the tripod head, loosen the large locking wheel and move the plate to the 45-degree position (so it sticks in the notch.) Turn the tripod mounting screw until it stops — it's actually pushing against the ball at this point. Now turn up the orange collar. Loosen the screw half a turn. Tighten the collar as tight as possible (no tools!) Now twist and tighten on your head. You'll find that it's a lot harder to accidentally spin off.

Anyway, a great tripod, a little heavier compared to compact or carbon fiber models, but a good choice for all-round use. Also, it is very convenient to switch to a monopod in less than a minute.

The endoscope is a super solution for the DIY sector. In the professional field you might get the replacement battery for this price. Here you get a function in the form of a useful view, e.g. into the engine compartment or into very crooked spaces, which no smartphone camera can match. This saves a lot of time because major dismantling work can be avoided. The picture is significantly better than expected and both photos and films can be made so that you get a good overview of the condition or function of the objects that are simply to be examined, repaired or adjusted. The lighting is excellent. With strong reflections, it is very good that the light can be dimmed. I fix the endoscope with a collet so that steady pictures can be taken. You should also pay attention to well-cleaned lenses.

Perfect for DIY enthusiasts - helps in various household situations.

The integrated K&F adapter collar also enables the aperture to be set manually with the Nikon AF zoom lens. Unfortunately no aperture scaling. Processing is high quality and a perfect fit.

If you are a serious diy guy or girl and want to save yourself a LOT of time, buy this. Just get it. Used it to find coolant leaks on cars, fridges, route wires in walls, find parts that fell under the boat engines, pull out lost stuff from impossible places, you can take pictures of serial or part numbers without having to take stuff apart before ordering a replacement and so many other uses. The nerves this thing saves are irreplaceable. Love it. The picture quality is great, the case is very solid and the whole thing just works. Battery life could be a bit better, but never ran into issues if recharged after each use. Fantastic and solid product.

Put the butter in the fish - A solid camera that will come in very handy for the DIY enthusiast. It comes in a sturdy pouch where it can be stored. Processing is very good. That means the buttons can be pressed, the display is a nice size, the case is stable, the cable (I'll call it that) is firm, but still quite flexible, so that you can work with it well. We used it to check our floor to see whether the empty pipe was still in place to insert the sensor for the underfloor heating before we laid the floor. That worked very well with it. It handled the slight arc well, didn't get stuck in the grooves and the illumination was excellent allowing you to really see the entire inner tube. I can absolutely recommend it from that point of view. It is certainly more for home use in terms of image quality and Co., but in my opinion you don't do much wrong with it.

This is an outstanding scope. I wish I had purchased this years ago for my DIY projects. It seems to be well made, and so far it has performed even better than expected.I bought it to help with some home renovation projects, such as inspecting the back side of equipment in a small space and running wires through the wall in a difficult layout. I have used it multiple times already, and would not have been able to complete the projects without it.I purchased the 16 foot cable, which can be unwieldy if the application seems better suited to a shorter cable. For smaller jobs I cut two strips of Velcro to keep about 10 feet coiled all the time and left the rest of the cable free to use for the job. You still have 16 feet of cable to deal with, but it stays under control all the time. This worked great for me to keep the cable organized.
